Retaining Walls And Excavation Support Systems - 3 PDH

Retaining walls must be designed so that foundation pressures do not exceed allowable bearing pressures, wall settlements are tolerable, safety factors against sliding and overturning are adequate, and the wall possesses adequate structural strength. Methods for evaluating earth pressures on retaining walls and design procedures are summarized herein for cohesionless backfill materials, which should be used whenever practicable.

Learn how to design for surcharge and dynamic loads on retaining walls;

Learn how to apply the equivalent fluid pressure method in retaining wall design;

Learn the criteria to apply in selecting earth pressures as the basis of retaining wall design.;

Learn the importance of designing for overturning forces acting on retaining walls; and

Learn how to design for sliding forces acting on retaining walls..

I chose your company because of the price, and I'm certainly happy with that! I am thankful that there is Continuing Education that is so affordable. Thanks for responding!

Rebecca

Thank you for your quick response. I can take unlimited courses for up to one year? That means I can apply some of the courses for this year’s deadline, and take additional courses after that toward my next period deadline!
